Seriously Guys are paying this I was there in July of last year and again in November, the fav of the time was very happy with the dinner, a few drinks, breakfast in the AM (free at La A) and the cien I was paying her every morning..

Guess I will stick to a little further south

Well, I guess you got that incredible deal because you have an incredible amount of game.

What deal ? Money was never discussed.

My one, and only experience, was that the amount you pay them is a fraction of the TCO.

1) This is THEIR trip, not yours!

2) They are always hungry! We were going to the beach and she said she was hungry. I said we would get some food to go and she REFUSED to lower herself to take-out food. She wanted to go to an expensive sit-down restaurant and shook her head in refusal to accept less. I went on to the beach with no food and by God there was a sit-down bar that served food. She runs over there and orders a feast.

3) They are always thirsty! They want the fanciest cocktails.

4) Now is a great time for that tattoo the've always wanted. I walked away and the tattoo man stop talking to her.

5) OOOps, where did she go? She's ducked into some store and found something to buy her.

6) They hate the A/C because they don't have it at their house. 80 degrees is the lowest acceptable room temperature.

7) They love the TV!!! They can watch it all night and some do. They DON'T want to talk to you.

A) They will pick the channel for you.

It is hard to get rid of them after you return.

9) During the trip, you will be reminded of everyone's birthday or other gift-giving occasion that's coming-up.

10) If she sees a friend or your buddy brought another girl, they will gab so much that you won't get to talk

11) They love to play Bob Marley at full volume the whole trip.

12) They like to smoke the same crap Bob smokedł.

Basically, you are there to fund THEIR party. If you think you will just tell them off and put them in their place, just remember they have unlimited emotional endurance and can out go 200 round in the verbal octogon

somebody is bitter
sure it can go that way if you let them take control like Orange says.
first sign of nonsense you should have put her back on the bus home and enjoyed your time alone.
you gave her the control. fail.

Probably......

But Roller did a good job of expressing some of the many reasons you should think 3 times about taking a girl to the beach (or wherever) especially if you don't really know her well - he expressed well the issues many have faced when they do so.

Yeah, I try to share my experiences so that others may learn from them, not to vent bitterness. Certainly not to hear all the "should of," "could of," and my favorite "I would have . . . ." Nobody knows what they would have done until you're in the situation. In this case it was a long time favorite that had changed over the years and I wrote off after this last visit.

You come back expecting them to be the same as you left them. They learn the system and master it because they are in the game everyday. We just come down a couple of times a year.

I hope this has helped one person, at least, to avoid the delusion, which is easy to slip into on your vacation.

you're right. it was your experience and i had no idea it was a long time favorite.
it just sounded like you tried it once and it didn't work out for you. like you had taken a complete stranger to the beach and the monster came out.
that is almost likely in the event you don't know her. the fact that you knew her makes it even bit more perplexing.
all i was sharing is that you lost control of the situation. not to put you down as much as give the flip side of how to not have that happen.
if you allow any women to dictate the flow its going to go sideways a lot of the time.
especially in the land of the latina.
my point is they know when they are pushing the limits of whats reasonable and expect to be called on it. since you are paying for the experience she can be fired.
no point in being as miserable as you described friend.
have had a lot of fun in these scenarios myself and seen a lot of guys have a great time as well.
and sorry if you took what i said as an attack. just like you want to help guys not have your experience i was pointing out it doesn't need to happen at all.

Having a Fav is a relationship. To what degree you want that to be is up to you. I have been thru several and each was different. I am in a fairly new relationship right now. I have known her for almost two years and on my last trip I started letting her come and go at her on free will (room key). Her English and my Spanish sometimes make communication difficult but we always seem to get by. When moving to this next level on my recent trip I told her that this is the way it can be as long as she doesn't make me mad, lie to me or get to where she asks for more and more. I went on to tell her that I would not hesitate to put her out the door. Then I asked her if she understood. She did not reply. So I asked her again. This time she replied with perfect English by saying. "You are telling me that there is lots of puxxy in Costa Rica and don't take you for granted" I was shocked at her perfect English but very proud of her answer. Next trip we are going to the beach.

Don't worry about it. I thought I was in a different thread viewtopic.php?f=2&t=43770&p=500649#p500649

Nice list. But if these things are to occur, they have been pre-determined before you left SJ. The chicas can read a guy within the first 10 seconds. A seasoned chica will know when a guy is going to put up with all of that crap and will play it accordingly. On the other hand, a guy who makes it clear that he's no pushover from the beginning will not need to deal with any of that because the chica will know that she'll be on the first bus to SJ if she tries it.

It must be established at the very beginning who is the bitch and who is the boss.

How very true! So, lets begin lesson 2.

1) Don't lie to your boss where you are.

2) Don't worry about being back in USA on a certain day/time.

3) Don't keep thinking about how the Secret Service caused a big mess in Colombia.

4) Don't be preoccupied by all the phone calls and emails pouring in "Where are you?"

5) When you tell her she can't go, don't cave in just because she shows up at the door.

6) Don't make plans with friends and then tell them you are ducking from a stalking Tica and can't go.

7) Make sure your friends haven't made plans with HER friends.

Make her sit in back and your bud sit in front with you.

9) Make sure your bud has been to Costa Rica before and knows the game. (Not USA rules)

10) Read the message above on how chicas can read you and what they can get away with.
